The difference in performance between native and non-native string encoding (using the fastest js implementations I can manage to write, granted) is at most 2x to 3x, which is certainly an improvement but not enough to overcome the approximately order-of-magnitude difference in overall encoding and decoding speed that we're looking at now.
So the benefit is that using a binary encoding will make sense in more circumstances, but will still be slow enough that something JSON-backed is a better choice in most cases.
